Abstract. <\/em><\/strong>The relevance of the research is related to the development and application of the cognitive-semantic approach to the use of epithets. The novelty of the research consists of the fact that epithetation is considered as one of the leading mechanisms of metaphor formation in the Tsvetaeva\u2019s idiolect. The purpose of the article is to describe the directions of epithetation of the death <\/em>concept in M. Tsvetaeva\u2019s poetic texts. The following sources of empirical material were used in the research: the National Corpus of the Russian Language, the Dictionary of epithets of the Russian literary language<\/em>, the Dictionary of the Russian language<\/em>, the Philosophical Dictionary<\/em>; the source of factual material was the poet\u2019s Collected Works<\/em> and the Dictionary of Marina Tsvetaeva\u2019s poetic language<\/em>. It is proved that the comprehension of the \u201cdeath\u201d concept in M.\u00a0Tsvetaeva\u2019s poetic texts is an existential, creative problem; earthly life is understood as imperfect and is contrasted with death, the afterlife. To fully describe the concept, attributes with the root dead<\/em>-, which are endowed with objects of the external world, were used. The cognitive basis of the majority of attributive constructions is anthropomorphic metaphorization and metonymization. The cognitive principle of the epithetation of the concept under consideration and the epithetation of the quality of \u201cdead\u201d is the association of death with love, with a desired existence. Death often has a greater value than life, is endowed with axiological attributes, becomes the central existential for the poet, who dialectically passes into life: death is real life. The poet\u2019s understanding of death in connection with the concept of fate, the problem of suicide determines the somatic understanding of death as a subject endowed with attributes of the living. The mechanisms of epithetation of the \u201cdeath\u201d concept reveal the main idiolectic feature of M. Tsvetaeva\u2019s speech \u2014 continuous reflection on the semantics of the word, the tendency to total identification of realities.<\/p>\n
